Commission conditionally approves 192-unit Daventry Place; drainage review required
Summary
The commission approved primary/final plat and development-plan requests for Brown Capital Group's 192-unit Daventry Place at 175 N. 100 W but made both approvals contingent on drainage-board approval to resolve upsizing and maintenance of a regulated drain; a drainage-board hearing is scheduled next week.
The Kokomo City Planning Commission on March 10 conditionally approved two items for Brown Capital Group's Daventry Place, a market-rate apartment project at 175 North 100 West, but tied both approvals to drainage-board signoff.
Matthew Shim, representing Brown Capital Group, described the project as a 192-unit development west of Northwest Park with amenities that include a pool, pickleball courts, a fitness center, a dog park and a walking trail. "It's 192 units ... amenities include there's a pool ... pickle ball courts, fitness center, dog park, and then a walking trail around the project," Shim said.
Commissioners explained the approvals were made contingent on drainage-board approval because the regulated-drain portion of the project requires upsizing and legal steps. A commissioner said the drainage-board public hearing is scheduled next Monday and that city takeover of the regulated drain is being pursued to shorten the timeline versus a county legal-drain process that could take "five or six months." The commission approved both the primary/final plat and the development plan by voice vote with the contingency that drainage-board approval and any necessary arrangements be completed.
Next steps include the drainage-board public hearing and the logistics of the city assuming maintenance of the regulated drain if that route is chosen; the planning commission's approvals will proceed only after that required drainage action.
